But it will be interesting and sort of controversial for him to play Lincoln. I know he can do it. Was it interesting? Did he "do it"? Give us yer review!

Finally. I had a Ask the Pesci blue balls for Christ's sake. Well, I thought he did well. I think there are some fantastic moments in that movie. Combine Spielberg's knack for spatial and compositional brilliance, you get one fine performance. It was great but I thought the movie itself was too knowingly cinematic. Scenes with cathartic speeches are drowned in a score by John Williams. Some major cheese but still a great performance.

I've heard similar complaints about the score. I've heard not much else aside from praise for the actual movie though. But we're getting ahead of ourselves here, lets not skip on essential canonical movies for this thread: Django! Give us your thoughts on it Joey?
Also, I saw The Grey recently. I Liked it. I'm not usually a Neilson fan, but he was great in this.

First, I will address Django. Thought it had a bit too many niggers in it, but ultimately a very great film. Quentin Tarantino makes brilliant movies. I think that Inglorious Basterds is probably his best film but I am trying to piece Django together. I think he always buries brilliant nuggets in the subtext of his films and Django is no exception. I believe the movie is ultimately about the "art of a transaction" as it were. Just about every scene involves a "transaction" of some kind taking place. It's about the formality of these transactions and what happens when they aren't honored. Sometimes the rationale behind the transaction in relation to the prefrontal cortex. I think that sometimes our adrenal grand can overwhelm (and sometimes should) the prefrontal cortex reasoning of a person. But the film is ultimately very interested in exploring the irony of these transactions and the consequence of not following the rules established by society. For instance, when Big Daddy is embarrassed on his ranch but is helpless to take action due to the consequence of law, he tries to skirt it by riding into the night with a mask on to circumvent and kill Django and Dr Schultz. Spoiler Alert: That doesn't end so well. There is so much more to say about this movie. Wasn't too fond of the soundtrack though, definitely not Tarantino's best.
And beeds, who are you talking to?

I really love it when you get all analytical on our arses Joe! You should legit have your own late night movie review show. You make Barry Norman look like a Barry Boreman, Jonathan Ross look like Jonathan Toss-off, Claudia Winkleman look like Claudia Simpleton, and Mark Kermode look like the wannabe Joe Pesci that he really is!
I quite liked Django too, but to be honest, I didn't get the chance to watch it all the way through properly, so I'll save writing my full opinions until I get to watch it again, properly.
I did watch True Grit for a second time yesterday, a fantastic film. Surely one of the Coen's best. Would you agree Joe?
And yeah, who are you talking to Beeds? The Grey wasn't as dull as it's title suggests, if that's the dull movie you were referring to.

Heya Joe! Currently doing a short course about film and for it we're looking at the following: Street Angel (1928) Docks of New York (1928) Applause (1929) Monkey Business (1931) Scarface (1932) The Ghost Ship (1943) Trail of the Lonesome Pine (1936) Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) All that Heaven Allows (1958) Punch Drunk Love (2002)
Gimme an in depth review of your opinion on each of these. Or a small thought, whichever.
Also, how's your blog/website coming along?

Jooe, Come back! I want to hear your views on the Before... series now that Midnight is out.
Also, thoughts on the next film in the series being called After Midnight, where they're going to let it all hang down.

So cool news in regards to that. I met Richard Linklater, Ethan Hawke, and Patricia Arquette at the Sundance Film Festival when they premiered Linklater's newest film, Boyhood. That movie is fucking incredible. So is Before Midnight, which is my favorite in the series now. There are a lot of parallels between the works. I am just going to post this before I become too tangental because this is 'Ask the Pesci' after all.
